Are you using the small insert? They make a really small insert for pistols that throws from 0 to about 17 grains (I think) and that is what I use for handgun loads. I bought it when I ordered the press because I knew that it would be better than either insert that comes with the press.

The small insert that comes with the press is hard pressed to do consistent charges below about 10 grains in my experience. YMMV.
